Investments in fiber and 5G position AT&T for improved growth as it accelerates and scales the execution of its strategy
AT&T’s customer-centric, investment-led strategy is working – differentiating how AT&T goes to market to grow converged customer relationships and supporting a clear path to accelerating growth. The Company recently saw its best-ever first quarter for Advanced Connectivity internet net adds alongside its fastest-ever year-over-year organic growth in its advanced home internet convergence rate as customers increasingly purchase their internet and wireless together from AT&T.
Today, AT&T reaches more than 90 million customer locations with its advanced internet services, including more than 37 million fiber locations, and remains on pace to reach over 60 million customer locations with fiber by the end of 2030.1 After years of industry-leading investments in fiber and 5G, AT&T is strategically positioned to deliver more of what customers want – simplicity, value and choice, and converged connectivity – enabling the Company to win in new geographies and underpenetrated categories across consumers and businesses.
AT&T remains on track to achieve its 2026 and multi-year financial guidance
AT&T maintains the long-term outlook and capital allocation plans provided with its first-quarter 2026 results. This includes the Company's outlook for improved growth in adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS and higher free cash flow through 2028, its plans to return $45 billion+ to shareholders during 2026-2028 through dividends and share repurchases, and an expectation that its net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio will return to a level consistent with its target in the 2.5x range within approximately three years following the closing of its transaction with EchoStar.
For the second quarter of 2026, AT&T continues to expect improved year-over-year growth in wireless service revenue and in consolidated adjusted EBITDA compared to year-over-year growth rates reported in the first quarter of 2026. The Company also continues to expect second quarter free cash flow in the range of $4.0 to $4.5 billion.
